Our marksmanship team competes with .177 caliber air rifles using the National Council 3-Position Air Rifle rules. We compete in the "Sporter" class, meaning you don't have to buy the super-expensive Olympic-style competition gear--just regular clothes and an air rifle provided by us. We train a lot and are very good:

Our season starts in early August. New shooters embark on an intense 9-week training program designed to stress the fundamentals of safety and marksmanship while introducing them to competition. Training for most culminates around Veterans Day, however those who wish to continue after Veterans Day can certainly do so and will be rewarded with many opportunities to compete against some of the best teams in the country as we vie for another national championship
Everybody starts here with the basics
